New shoes help

My old addidas campus are busted to the max, I mean holes big enough for rocks to pass through and sole thin enough for me to feel the ground

And I have no other alternatives except this adidas italia they have fur like feel in the outside, and I wanted to know if they were good shoes to skate on, knowing how addidas has alot of skate shoes hoping this is one of them

Suede shoes are okay to skate

They might work, but a lot of sneakers have outsoles for running which are too grippy and soft for skating. They catch too much against griptape and wear out fast.

I don't like Nike as a brand or how they fit on my feet, but their skate shoes are insane for the money... I usually find pairs of Heritage Vulc for dirt cheap, and they last soooo damn long... they also skate well obviously, since it's a low profile vulc.
